Intramuros Escapade #2 :) Casa Manila Museum
History:
Casa Manila is a museum in Intramuros depicting colonial lifestyle during Spanish colonization of the Philippines.
The museum is the imposing stone-and-wood structure c. 1850, one of the grand houses in Barrio San Luis (one of the four original villages of Intramuros) is located across historic San Agustin church and bounded by Calle Real, General Luna, Cabildo and Urdaneta streets. The other two are the Los Hidalgos, c. 1650 and Cuyugan Mansion, c. 1890.Source
Casa Manila is a copy of an 1850s San Nicolas House that was once located in Calle Jaboneros. The architect of Casa Manila was J. Ramon L. Faustmann. It was constructed by Imelda Marcos during the 1980s and modeled on Spanish colonial architecture.

To begin with , let me share with you the amazing photos as we travel in one of the most historic place in Intramuros, Manila...
Welcome to CASA MANILA
This is very unique old bike , made of bamboo.
Inside Casa Manila , during our visit we witnessed a prenuptial preparation . Think the prenup is memorable in this place because this is surrounded by old architectural structures.
By the way before entering the casa , you need to read first the guidelines and you have to pay for the amount indicated . For adult its php 75.00 and for children , students and teachers with ID php 50.00 while for senior citizen a charged of php 50.00 is also implemented.
Stair to different parts of the casa.
The "sungkaan and the salakot", seen upon entering the main "sala of the casa".
Nice to see the very antique narra wood used in all the furnitures here. Well maintained" casa receiving area."
This serves as the "Casa Opisina", wherein guest will be entertained for business .
I am not in the picture 'coz i'm the photographer hehehe, only one photographer per team visiting the casa. Still part of their receiving area.
Facts about the "casa Silid or known as the Cuarto", a place where family can stay for overnights. Used also for special event for "siesta".
Casa kitchen , all kinds of foods prepared in this area. It looks like a "pugon" , an oven in our generation.
still part of the kitchen.
Casa bathroom , nice to see this kind of historic part of a house.
The comfort room for the casa . So different from today's comfort room, this is made of wood as if you're sitting on a chair with two holes.
Restaurant inside the Casa Manila Museum.This is yours truly infront of the resto hehehehe:)

Nice post sis. I don't think I've been here sa Casa Manila museum mismo. Usually, photoshoot lang kami sa churches jan. But that has been years ago. Dumaan kayo National Museum narin I'm sure?
thanks sis... actually i am not familiar with the place. Ang son ko lang nag aya, then ayun nag libot kami. Last year we've been at National Museum ,already think twice na kami nakapunta, my son loves to draw his inclined in Arts , so mahilig talaga kami mag punta sa ganitong place.
That's great to know sis. Inclined to arts pala ang anak mo so visiting these places are a treat for him I'm sure :)
This is really worth a visit. It is walking back in time and I can't help but remember what we have been taught in school about Noli and El Fili. It's great that they are maintaining this. I hope they can continue to do so because this is a historical and important part of our history.
Those bamboo bikes are really ingenius. There is an organic quality to it and very Filipino.
They should have a photo booth with complete set of traditional costumes then. That would complete the experience.
